This place invites you to relax and is especially worthwhile if it wasn't dry for too long beforehand.

The Schützenbrunnen spring is located at an elevation of approximately 430 meters in the forest near Neunkirchen am Potzberg and was created in 1894.

The circular pond was created on an old ore dump and is fed by a tunnel spring. Due to its low pH, the water is not drinkable, but it provides a habitat for rare animals such as fire salamanders and grass snakes.

Local festivals used to take place here, and as early as the 18th century, the spring water was considered to have medicinal properties.

The surrounding old Douglas firs and beeches date back to Bavarian times.

📝 The Schützenbrunnen fountain is located at the edge of the path and offers not only fresh spring water but also a piece of local history. It once served as a rest and supply point for hikers, hunters, and marksmen – today, it burbles quietly and invites you to pause for a moment.

💡 Tip: Dip your hands in the water – this little refreshing kick works wonders, especially on sunny days.
